[HNW] Plimoth Plantation project

[Johnna Holloway]

Oh maybe you missed the posts about the issue of Early American Life  
for April 2010
which featured that very Plimoth Plantation jacket.

FIREWORKS IN GOLD AND SILK
Plimoth Plantation’s efforts to reproduce a 17th-Century embroidered  
woman’s waistcoat drew worldwide interest, helping to revive the craft  
and its materials and techniques.

It was on newsstands. Back issues can be ordered at
